In 1971 Captain Dave Scott, on the Apollo 15 mission, found his NASA issued Omega Speedmaster had popped of its crystal. So, he threw on his personal (and unauthorized) Bulova chronograph and continued on with the mission. This watch, which ultimately sold for 1.6 million dollars at auction, is the only privately owned watch ever worn on the moon.

So, Bulova has released a re-edition of this famous watch, offered here today. It has nearly the same look as Captain Scott's prototype watch, including the beautiful elongated pushers that are slotted into the full mid-case, and now adds a subtle date indication at 4 o'clock. Inside is their proprietary ultra-high frequency quartz chronograph movement. This movement, according to Bulova, allows for accuracy that is good to just seconds per year, and because of its high frequency, provides the smooth sweeping chronographs seconds hand that we are accustomed to with mechanical watches.

This model retails for $650, and as imagined, AD's are not discounting these due to the demand. Offering this one for a reduced price of $475 NET delivered in US via Priority Mail, fully insured. Paypal, money order, check if I know you.
